I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Didn't really enjoy it. Could have been a hot read but sadly it didn't hit the mark with me.

I love Lisa See's writing. This book is especially good when read with it's prequel, Shanghai Girls. (I received a free ARC of this book from a Goodreads Giveaway)

A fun intro to the witches story arc. Not one of my favorite books, as I enjoy the dialogue between Granny & Nanny, it is still humorous and worth the read.

**An Arc Copy From The Publisher**

A nice book with good clear instructions and a helpful guide on what fabrics to use, As the Arc copy of the book was only a sample I can only include comments on the couple of quilts that I saw which is disapointing, That said they were nice designs with good pictures and easy to follow instructions ideal for the beginner or for someone with more experience.

Engineering Porn with His Cousin Vinny.
A curious oddity of a film with a non-traditional story and an interestingly different story arc. One to really like if you are into heavy machinery, drilling rigs and electronics!

"Everything I want a novel to be, story-driven but marked with the great arc of its telling. You feel “Yes, this is what the 19th century must have been like.”"

The third and final of the X-Wing omnibus editions, which contains the following 5 stories:

In the Empire's Service
The Making of Baron Fel
Family Ties
Masquerade
Mandatory Retirement

Well, when I say stories it's really one story arc told over all 5, with most of that arc concerning Baron Soontir Fel who (according to one panel) Vader had his TIE prototype made in order to avoid being beaten in sims by Fel. Set before the novels, the arc also takes in Ysanne Isard's - the main villain in the X-Wing novels - rise to power, but also leaves some plot elements hanging.

This, I felt, was the best of the three omnibuses: pity it was just in time for the series to end.
  
A subpar start to what had been a great on-going series, I hope this is rectified once we discover the secret of the longer arc that is developing. For more see www.travelingthevortex.com

A far superior entry than the kick off story arc, this feels much more like Bond. Danger, girls, intrigue, all continuing in the hard edged style established in Vargr. Cant wait for more.

The first three chapters were awesome. The last two are completely different from a different series and not my style. The arc by Chelsea Cain though was amazing. Bobbi is badass and funny. Loved it!
